Text —Philippians 3:7-10
Message
In our text, Apostle Paul expressed his desire to know more of Christ. It is great to know more about Jesus. One of the reasons is so as to obtain grace to resist and overcome all negative pressure from the world. Another reason is to understand the unfathomable privileges of mercy which have made us part of the family of God, Almighty. More so, this quest gives you a sense of direction in life as His purpose for your existence becomes clearer.
The joy, strength, zeal for acceptable service and the accompanying exploits come from the desire to know more of Jesus. We cannot appreciate the fact of Jesus’ death and resurrection, until we have made Him our Lord. Jesus is awesome. The Christian life is about continually seeking Jesus, learning more about Him and enjoying His fellowship. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). Knowing Jesus does not come through searching secular materials, but by reading the Bible fellowshipping with those who believe the gospel.
